Four years single, three years widowed

In order to avoid meeting Duan Wenzheng, Li Can stayed busy at the company until around ten o'clock in the evening before packing up and going home.

Taking the elevator from the garage on the ground floor to the tenth floor, Li Can walked out of the elevator with a tired look on his face, and paused for a while when he lowered his head to enter the password for the door.

He really hoped that Duan Wenzheng had already fallen asleep.

Unfortunately, imagination is always beautiful, but reality is always cruel.

The room was not as dark as he imagined, it was a little darker, but the turned on TV emitted light, illuminating a small part of the living room and Duan Wenzheng who was sitting on the sofa.

Duan Wenzheng kept his posture and didn't respond to his return at all. This may be because he opened the door too lightly, or maybe it was because Duan Wenzheng didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

Li Can prefers the latter.

Putting down the briefcase and car keys, Li Can reached out and pressed the light switch.

The warm yellow light came on in an instant, Duan Wenzheng didn't even look back, he didn't even look at him, Li Can calmly accepted the fact that he was ignored, put on his slippers, and went straight to the bedroom.

Opening the closet, he found a change of clothes, then left the bedroom and went to the bathroom.

A certain war movie was playing on the TV. Although Duan Wenzheng turned down the sound very softly, he could still hear it clearly in a quiet environment.The continuous roar of gunfire penetrated into Li Can's ears, and his brain functioned associatively, making it seem like a strong smell of gunpowder could be smelled in his nose.

It's echoing this situation.

To go to the bathroom, you have to go through the living room, Li Can is holding the clothes, walking slowly.

Duan Wenzheng probably just took a shower, he has the familiar scent of shower gel on his body, his black hair is wet and shiny, water drops drip down the ends of his hair, and flow into the neckline of his pajamas.

Li Can frowned, but didn't say anything, he just held back.

After a brief shower, Li Can left the steam-filled bathroom. Duan Wenzheng's movie was finished, but he played a new one. I don't know if he wanted to watch it all night.

Li Can didn't ask this question, because he couldn't take the initiative to talk to Duan Wenzheng, he wasn't trying to show his temper, he just didn't want Duan Wenzheng to pick up unnecessary hopes again.

Stepping into the bedroom, Li Can closed the door without any hesitation.He didn't expect Duan Wenzheng to say "good night" to him like last night, he even suspected that Duan Wenzheng had already made up his mind to protest his unfeeling attitude in a silent way.

Sitting back on the edge of the bed, Li Can took off his glasses and squeezed the tight brows.

He regretted it, regretted that he had agreed to Duan Wenzheng's request to stay with him the night before yesterday, if he hadn't agreed then, this ugly situation wouldn't have happened.

Exhaling slowly, Li Can put the glasses on the bedside table.Now that the matter has come to an end, it is useless to regret, anyway, if he is asked to drive Duan Wenzheng away now, he will not do it.

Since it can't be done, the only way to maintain the status quo...

Turn off the lights and go to bed, Li Can closes his eyes.

He has always been used to sleeping on his back, but today he always felt that something was wrong. After a while, he suddenly turned over and lay on his side, facing the door.

Pressing his arms under his head, Li Can stared straight at the light leaking through the crack of the door.

He wondered how late Duan Wenzheng went to bed today.

As it turns out, the adage that curiosity killed the cat wasn't invented.

Li Can persevered until the end, and fell asleep almost at the same time as Duan Wenzheng, which made his already poor mood the next day, which was made worse by lack of sleep.

Opening the door of the bedroom, Li Can's face was icy cold, exuding an aura that strangers should not get close to, if someone who is not afraid of death dares to get close at this time, he will be able to see the dark circles under his eyes hidden under the glasses.

There was the smell of food in the air. Duan Wenzheng was sitting at the dining table, enjoying his breakfast in silence. A bowl of steaming noodles and a pair of chopsticks were placed on the empty seat opposite him.

Who this bowl of noodles is for is self-explanatory.

Pursing the corners of his mouth, Li Can's mood became even worse, he looked away displeased, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

In the private enclosed space, Li Can propped his left hand on the washbasin, and held the toothbrush in his right hand. He brushed his teeth a little rough, not like cleaning, but more like venting.

What exactly does Duan Wenzheng want to do?Sue for peace?

Li Can didn't think so from the bottom of his heart, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped wasting energy on thinking and cleaned himself up quickly.

Coming out of the bathroom, Li Can passed by Duan Wenzheng without looking sideways, picked up his things, and prepared to go out.

Duan Wenzheng didn't call him, the doorknob was twisting so abruptly, Duan Wenzheng must have heard it, but he didn't do anything, let him go quietly.

"Bang!" The door was closed by Li Can.

Duan Wenzheng ate without raising his head, and after finishing his bowl of noodles, he brought over the opposite one, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Morning, Manager Li."

"Good morning, Manager Li."

Li Can nodded slightly, walked into the office along the aisle, and started a busy and long day.

"Hey, have you noticed any difference in Manager Li?" Sister Chen leaned against the edge of Secretary Kong's desk with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"What's different?" Aya, who was sitting next to Secretary Kong, leaned over her head.

"Has the air-conditioning dropped by one degree again?" Andy, who had just arrived at the office, joined the camp and complained in a low voice.

"Tsk, I didn't mean that." Sister Chen looked mysterious, "I mean the changes in him."

"The changes in your body?" Aya thought carefully about Li Can just now, racked her brains, and finally said, "Nothing changed, he's still very handsome."

Secretary Kong smiled helplessly. She knew that Sister Chen was definitely not referring to Li Can's appearance, so she said to Sister Chen, "Sister Chen, don't be fooled."

Shaking her head, Sister Chen was deeply disappointed by their gossip sensitivity, so she could only reveal the truth herself: "Didn't you see his hand?"

The six eyes are facing each other, I don't know why.

"The wedding ring is gone from his ring finger."

"Huh?!" Aya exclaimed.

"Hush!" Sister Chen hurriedly asked her to lower her voice, "Speak softly."

"Could it be a divorce?" Andy boldly guessed.

Secretary Kong frowned: "Maybe I just forgot to wear it?"

"Impossible, I've been observing him for several days." Sister Chen said, "I'll tell you, since I joined the company, I've never seen him not wearing a wedding ring. I guess he must have left."

"No way..." Aya expressed pity.

"It's normal to leave." Andy shrugged, "Which woman can accept that her husband is so cold and a serious workaholic."

"How do you know that people treat their wives with indifference?" Aya defended Li Can, "I think Manager Li is the kind of ruthless boss who is only special to the one he loves and gives all his tenderness to his lover!"

Secretary Kong nodded in agreement. Aya was right, but she had to change the word "wife" to "husband".

"Have you read too many romance novels?" Andy poked Aya's forehead, "Okay, let's not talk about how the two of them get along with each other, workaholics can't be washed away, right?"

"Uh..." Aya had nothing to say.

Sister Chen took a sip of coffee, then sighed pretendingly: "Oh! There is another sad person who was hurt by love in this world."

Turning to look at the closed office door, Secretary Kong's eyes showed worry.

"Morning!" The unpleasant male colleague next door suddenly appeared, "What are you talking about? Tell me about it?"

"It's nothing." Sister Chen pulled a professional smirk, turned and left.

The rest of Aya and Andy also immediately dispersed, each busy with the matter at hand.The male colleague who didn't hear the gossip as he wished curled his lips and retracted his head.

After spending a little time, Secretary Kong sorted out the documents on the table, and then walked to the door of Li Can's office.

"Knock, knock!" She raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Opening the door, Secretary Kong stepped forward: "Manager Li, here is the machine information you want."

"Okay." Li Can took the time to take a look and said, "Thank you."

As if the playback speed of the movie had been slowed down, Secretary Kong slowly placed the files on the desk and carefully observed Li Can's left hand.

The wedding ring was literally gone.

Sensing Secretary Kong's abnormality and her gaze, Li Can raised his eyelids: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"No." Secretary Kong quickly withdrew his hand, "There is nothing else."

Hearing this, Li Can continued to concentrate on his work, burying his head in front of the computer and manipulating the keyboard with both hands.

Secretary Kong knew that he shouldn't meddle in other people's business, but when he was about to leave the office, he mustered up a lot of courage and turned around to call Li Can: "Manager Li..."

"Ok?"

"Come on!" Secretary Kong was serious and sincere.

Li Can's Danfeng eyes were full of doubts, but he still sincerely thanked Secretary Kong: "Thank you."

Although he couldn't understand Secretary Kong's sudden encouragement, it was indeed what Li Can needed at the moment. The relationship between him and Duan Wenzheng had deteriorated sharply. Just thinking about it made him feel deeply irritable and powerless.

Just like yesterday, Li Can returned home late at night, the difference is that Duan Wenzheng didn't sit on the sofa and watch TV today.

He sat at the dining table, enjoying his dinner silently as in the morning. There were three dishes and one soup on the table, which looked very rich.

As an injured patient who could stay at home all day, Duan Wenzheng didn't need to wait until this hour for dinner, he definitely did it on purpose.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, connecting several things together, Li Can finally understood Duan Wenzheng's intention.

Duan Wenzheng was not protesting, let alone asking for peace, Duan Wenzheng was torturing himself, the purpose was to arouse his guilt.

Li Can had to admit that Duan Wenzheng succeeded.

But what came with it was not only a sense of guilt, but also anger at Duan Wenzheng's self-torture.

Trying to treat Duan Wenzheng as if he didn't exist, Li Can completed the routine before going to bed. He went in and out of the bedroom and the bathroom several times, his face was black all the time, and he had to restrain the urge to slam the door every time he opened and closed it.

He made up his mind not to care about what time Duan Wenzheng rested, even if Duan Wenzheng opened his eyes until dawn, that was none of his business.

But his brain seemed to be against him, it was so active that he tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep.

Resigned to his fate, he opened his eyes, his eyes were extremely clear, Li Can touched the mobile phone on the bedside table, and turned on the screen.

Three twenty-six in the morning.

It doesn't matter, he will be able to fall asleep immediately after returning from the toilet.

Putting his bare and clean feet into slippers, Li Can turned open the door and found Duan Wenzheng repeating what he did last night.

He was mentally prepared, but when he saw Duan Wenzheng's wet, dripping hair, a nerve called reason broke with a snap.

His chest rose and fell obviously, Li Can hurriedly walked, turned and went into the bedroom to find a dry towel, and then, he burst into anger, and threw the towel on Duan Wenzheng's head forcefully.

"Are you interested in doing this, Duan Wenzheng?!" Li Can's eyes were sharp.
